I have one older low-end system, and one dual cpu system that is on all the time, either of which could be the server. However, the dual cpu system is where I do most of my work, including dual boot to windows. This makes it a bad prospect for a network server. I could configure and run XP pro in a virtual setup, but I am leery of making the full change to network server, with a virtual windows client and doing work on the server (compiling and running programs with occasional resets to clean up my big goofs).
Consider running vmware (or similar) on the 'good' system and run it all the time as a Linux server.
